Answer

Can writing on tree bark damage the trees in Palma?

Yes, marking tree bark can cause damage, and removing paint or ink is often time-consuming and not always harmless. In Palma, the care of street trees is treated as part of the city’s public environment, not just decoration. That is why even small acts of graffiti can become a broader issue about protecting urban greenery.
